I was recently promoted to project manager in the wireless and digital services division and work on projects alongside other engineers. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience by working in many industries like Biotechnology, IT, Research and Education.
The STEM industry is incredibly vast and there are so many doors of open opportunities to go into. As a technology strategy consultant, I work as an analyst and help clients with their technology strategy. My day to day all depends on the stretch and demand of a specific project and one will always start with a large amount of research. This is to educate myself on the technologies that I will be advising on.
Learning and development opportunities are a core part of career development at CC. There are over 200 different internal training courses given by technical experts from around the company and numerous external courses all designed to help upskill everyone no matter their role or seniority.
James Almond shares some of his experiences of his paid paternity leave at CC, supporting his new family and his return to work.
It took a few months to get used to my new job role as the Vice President of Engineering in the Seattle office. My role took a shift to technical support for sales and business development for events. It was great to be able to talk to potential clients about what problems they were trying to solve and how we could help them. It was a remarkable experience that I wouldn’t have gotten without the support of CC.
Each day has taken me down a new avenue of learning at CC. I have had the chance to help out across three projects which has enabled me to build on personal skills like time management.
